the tire guy

Colorado Christian Writers Conference started yesterday, in Estes Park, in ankle-deep snow. My workshops (Dianne Butts on marketing and Kathy Ide on being an editor/proofreader) were phenomenal!
Then I got back to the campground and discovered a flat tire. I had a flat tire here last year! So I phoned Good Sam from the campground office. Stood, on hold, for a solid hour ... until I was disconnected. Tried again; disconnected again. After a total of two hours, the Good Sam guy suggested I try again in the morning.
I came grumpily back to the RV ... and discovered I have water tank leak! No water. None. Campground bathrooms closed down due to weather. Ended up borrowing water from a neighbor.
And then, at 10 p.m., with me in my jammies headed for bed, there was knocking on my door. A tire guy (would give credit to the brand, but he never said), sent by Good Sam to fix my flat. The poor fellow spent an hour, in the dark, in the snow and slush, banging on the the tire/wheel. But he got the bad one off and the spare on!
And Dolphin and I got to bed at 11:05. I is tired!
